Bryant said while Always in Bloom is a division of the funeral service, their work extends beyond arrangements for the services. “We do get well arrangements, weddings and just because I love you arrangements.”
Ellis likes working with silk arrangements as well as fresh arrangements, she said. “I like doing a little bit of all of it.”
Bryant said he has known Ellis for years. “She will bring in more quality work.”
Jay Carlilse, owner of Hockaday, said of bringing Ellis in, “It's a good opportunity to grow our business. I've known Terrie for years.”
